Door Installation in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach

A new entry door in Palm Beach typically costs between $2,800 and $7,500 installed, with hurricane-rated front doors running $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, material, and ARCOM compliance requirements. Most standard door installations here take one full day on site once the unit arrives, though custom doors ordered to match a historic elevation can run four to six weeks for fabrication. That’s the honest range, and it assumes the job is done right in a town where the Architectural Review Commission checks sightline widths and hardware finishes the way a jeweler inspects a setting.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company

We’re not a national chain with a call center in another state. We’re a local Florida company with a published address, a license number you can look up, and an owner, Ed Winslow, whose name is on the door and on every job we do. For Palm Beach homeowners, that matters because door replacement on this island is not a generic install. You need a crew that has already navigated ARCOM’s dimensional reviews, understands zero-lot-line staging, and knows which hardware survives two directions of salt spray.

Our reputation in Palm Beach is built on showing up on time, keeping job sites clean, and pulling permits before the first hinge comes off. Customers tell us they appreciate that a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. No voicemail loops. No “we’ll call you back next business day.” When a door won’t latch after a nor’easter or a salt-corroded lock finally seizes, you call and someone picks up. Every technician we send to Palm Beach is background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who is at your door before you open it.

We also make the pricing conversation honest. You get a written line-item quote before work begins. If another company gave you a written estimate, bring it to us for a free second opinion. We won’t pressure you. We will tell you what’s actually needed and what is not.

Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach

Entry Doors

Front entry doors in Palm Beach carry an extra responsibility: they face the street, which means ARCOM can scrutinize their sightlines, glass pattern, and hardware finish even when the home is not on the historic register. We regularly install Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors with divided-lite glass that replicates the original muntin bar widths on Mizner-era elevations. In the North End, where mid-century CBS construction is common, we do a lot of clean, modern single-lite and transom configurations that still must clear ARCOM’s review.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Palm Beach sits in a high wind-speed design zone. That means exterior doors here need impact-rated glazing or approved storm protection at every opening. We install hurricane-rated front doors from PGT and CGI that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval requirements, with design pressures matched to the specific opening, never a generic bolt-on rating above what the frame and wall can carry. You get a door that holds through a storm, not a sticker that claims it will.

French & Double Doors

French and double doors are common on Palm Beach estates, especially on loggias and pool elevations facing the Lake Worth Lagoon. Salt spray from the Intracoastal eats builder-grade hardware fast. We specify marine-grade stainless steel or solid-brass hinges, handles, and flush bolts on these installations as a matter of course. If your existing French door binds or the active leaf won’t seal, there is a good chance corrosion, not the door slab itself, is the culprit.

Replacement Doors

Replacing a rotted or outdated door in Palm Beach is rarely a simple swap. The original jamb may be set in a masonry opening that has shifted over 80 years. The threshold may be failing from decades of salt and humidity. We rebuild the full unit, square the rough opening, flash it properly against driving rain, and hang the new door so it seals cleanly year-round. The result is a door that opens with one finger and closes without a slam.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We are authorized installers for premium impact door manufacturers including PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru, along with CWS and ES Windows for specialty lines. Because we order directly through factory channels, Palm Beach customers avoid the retail markup that big-box subcontracted installs add on. When you get a quote from Winslow, you are getting the door price and the labor price in separate line items, no mystery bundle. And we back every installation with our 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. That is a century-long standard, and we put it in writing.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• ARCOM denial on a standard impact door. A contractor quotes an off-the-shelf impact door without checking the original sightline widths, and the Architectural Commission rejects the submittal. The homeowner waits weeks for a custom door with historically correct muntins. We pull the original drawings and confirm ARCOM’s expectations before we order anything.
• Salt-corroded hardware on both building faces. Palm Beach properties get hit with salt spray from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Zinc and cheap plated steel hardware can seize within three to five years. We specify marine-grade alloys on every exterior door, regardless of elevation.
• Zero-lot-line staging disasters. On tight Palm Beach lots, a crew that stages materials in a shared driveway or blocks a neighbor’s access triggers code complaints and fines. We give written party-wall notice before staging near a shared property line and keep the site clean all day, not just at the end.
• Failed weatherstripping from humidity and salt. The original door itself may be fine, but the seals have hardened and crumbled. Air leaks, water stains, and insect intrusion follow. A full replacement with new jamb, threshold, and compression seals solves it, and double-door installations are the most common place we see this on the lagoon side.

Pricing for Door Installation in Palm Beach, FL

What Door Installation Costs in Palm Beach

For frame of reference, full exterior door projects in Palm Beach land between roughly $2,500 and $18,000 depending on scope. A straightforward replacement door without impact glazing starts around $2,500. Impact-rated entry doors run $4,500 to $12,000. A double French or terrace door with marine hardware and impact glass can run $6,000 to $18,000. Whole-home packages, which bundle front, rear, terrace, and garage-side doors, start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 when all openings must meet the highest design pressure zone and ARCOM’s custom sightline requirements. The single biggest price driver in Palm Beach is not the door, it is the review process and the site. Jobs on mid-island estate lots with generous side yards cost less to stage than zero-lot-line properties off South Ocean Boulevard. We will give you a line-item written quote so you know exactly where the money goes. Estimates are free and the price on your quote does not change once work starts.

Florida Pays You Back

You are reading about Palm Beach door installation, so you should know what offsets exist. The state’s My Safe Florida Home program provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which can include impact-rated doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs roughly $75 to $150, many Florida insurers credit an average of about 25 percent on the windstorm premium. We do not set the program rules, and we cannot guarantee what your insurance carrier will approve. What we can do is show you the documentation trail that supports your claim, including product approvals and the wind-mitigation form your inspector needs.

One comparison worth making, since it comes up on nearly every Palm Beach call: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you if someone is home to deploy them before the storm, and they require storage when not in use. Impact-rated doors are always working, always installed, and require no action at all. If you are comparing a permanent impact door against add-on panels, think about who is in the house when a storm forms while you are away. That said, we do not sell or install shutters. We install impact doors and windows, done once.

Working Around Palm Beach’s Tight Lots and Strict Rules

Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island, roughly half a mile wide in places, with the Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other. That geography shapes every door installation we do. Many properties, especially on the south end and mid-island, are zero-lot-line or near it. There is no staging yard, no spare driveway, and no room for a dumpster that blocks a neighbor’s guest parking. We address this before we ever load a truck. Our crew scouts the site, plans where the old door goes, where the new door waits during install, and how we protect the neighbor’s property line. When party-wall notice is needed, it goes out in writing before work starts.

Noise and work-hour ordinances matter here, too. The Town of Palm Beach restricts construction noise to specific daytime windows, and we schedule our cutting and fastening around those rules without being asked twice. If a mid-afternoon delivery of a custom door conflicts with the ordinance, we coordinate the delivery time or schedule around it. These are not things a generic installer thinks about until a code enforcement officer knocks on the door. We think about them at the estimate stage, because they affect access, staging time, and sometimes the quote itself.

And then there is ARCOM. Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Commission requires that replacement doors, even on non-historic homes, match the original sightline widths and hardware finishes of the street-facing elevation. That is a level of dimensional scrutiny almost never applied in West Palm Beach or Lake Worth. If your front door has a two-and-a-quarter-inch stile and a satin brass handle, that is what your replacement needs, not a modern three-inch profile with oil-rubbed bronze, unless ARCOM signs off on the change. We handle the submittal for you.

On Seabreeze Avenue, our crew replaced a rotted double-door entry on a 1930s Mizner-era courtyard home. We staged the new Therma-Tru fiberglass doors and marine-grade stainless hinges within the narrow side yard after giving the neighbor written party-wall notice, then set the jamb in corrosion-proof flashing to counter the salt spray from the nearby Intracoastal. The ARCOM-approved arched transom stayed untouched. That job went smoothly because we knew the site, the rules, and the neighbor’s property line before the first cut.
